Oo meron silang mga EXEMPTION pero sa kabuuan, ipinagbabawal pa rin talaga ang pag-aasawa sa mga pari, "discipline" ito ayon sa kanila at pwedeng pang mabago.
Ang exemption na tinutukoy ko ay halimbawa, galing sa Eastern Churches yung pari (sa Eastern churches okay lang na ang mga pari ay mag-asawa), tapos nagconvert sa Roman Catholic Church, pwede niyang ituloy ang pagpapari niya sa RCC kahit na may asawa siya at may anak pa. Pati na rin yung galing sa Anglican Church at Episcopal Church.
Nagmula nga ba sa bibliya ang katuruang ito?
Hayaan natin na ang Catholic Encyclopedia mismo ang sumagot:
"Although we do not find in the New Testament any indication of celibacy being made compulsory either upon the Apostles or those whom they ordained, we have ample warrant in the language of Our Saviour, and of St. Paul for looking upon virginity as the higher call, and by inference, as the condition befitting those who are set apart for the work of the ministry."

Hindi talaga ito galing sa New Testament, lalo naman sa Old Testament na ang mga pari ay dapat na magsagawa ng celibacy. Isa na naman kasi ito dagdag nilang katuruan. Ginawan lang nila ng kwento na kesyo dapat hindi mag asawa para makapagfocus sa paglilingkod sa church etc etc etc...
Nagmula nga ba ang practice na ito noong 1st century?
Hanapin natin sa history:
"In the earliest years of the church, the clergy were largely married men. C K Barrett points to 1 Cor 9:5 as clearly indicating that "apostles, like other Christians, have a right to be (and many of them are) married", and the right for their wife to be "maintained by the communities in which they [the apostles] are working".Paul, though himself probably celibate, even includes being "the husband of one wife" among the qualifications for the office of "overseer". source: wikipedia
Nung sinauna pala yung mga "clergy" o mga may katungkulan sa Iglesia ay may mga ASAWA. Karamihan nga sa mga apostol may asawa eh, kaya hindi talaga ito practice ng mga sinaunang Kristyano.
Eh kelan pala ito naimbento?
"The earliest textual evidence of the forbidding of marriage to clerics and the duty of those already married to abstain from sexual contact with their wives is in the fourth-century decrees of the Council of Elvira and the later Council of Carthage. According to some writers, this presumed a previous norm, which was being flouted in practice.
- Council of Elvira (c. 305)
- (Canon 33): It is decided that marriage be altogether prohibited to bishops, priests, and deacons, or to all clerics placed in the ministry, and that they keep away from their wives and not beget children; whoever does this, shall be deprived of the honor of the clerical office.
- Council of Carthage (390)
source: wikipedia
- (Canon 3): It is fitting that the holy bishops and priests of God as well as the Levites, i.e. those who are in the service of the divine sacraments, observe perfect continence, so that they may obtain in all simplicity what they are asking from God; what the Apostles taught and what antiquity itself observed, let us also endeavour to keep… It pleases us all that bishop, priest and deacon, guardians of purity, abstain from conjugal intercourse with their wives, so that those who serve at the altar may keep a perfect chastity."
Noong 4th century pala mahahanap ang pinaka unang ebidensya ng celibacy. Kaya nahahalata pong dagdag na katuruan lang ito sa Roman Catholic Church, kung sa eastern churches nga (na dating parte din ng RCC) okay lang magkaroon ng asawa ang mga pari, samantalang sa kanila hindi pwede?
Talagang ipinagpipilitan nila na hindi daw sa kanila ipinagbabawal ang pag-aasawa (pari, obispo, madre at iba pa) para magmukang hindi sa kanila natupad ang babalang ito ng bibliya:
"Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth." I Tim. 4:1,3
Itanggi man nila o hindi, sa Iglesia Katolika natupad ang hulang yan. Narito ang magulong pagpapaliwanag ng mga CFD tungkol dito...
Ayon sa Exposing the INC cult of Manalo fanpage:
"Question: Was the probation of Catholic Church to marry a fulfillment of 1 Tim. 4:3 as apostate church? This pointing to Catholic Church forbids some people, clergy and Religious, to marry, so it must not be the Church Christ founded. In fact, the Catholic Church does not forbid anyone to marry.
Answer: There was no Prohibition to Marry in Catholic Church..."
VS.
"Going back to Priest, Canonically speaking they cannot marry for a number of reasons,"

Ayon sa kanilang pari na si Mr. Abe Arganiosa:
"HINDI COMPULSORY ANG CELIBACY DAHIL HINDI ITO SAPILITAN SUBALIT ITO AY NECESSARY UPANG MAGING BUO ANG PAG-AALAY NG SARILI NG ISANG LALAKI UPANG MAGING PARI."
VS.
"KAYA DAPAT MAMILI ANG ISANG GUSTONG MAGPARI NG ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH KUNG TALAGANG HANDA SIYANG MAG-ALAY NG BUO NIYANG SARILI O HINDE."

Ang gulo naman.
Yung sa CFD sa FB fanpage na si John Salvator ang gumawa ng article, sabi wala daw PROHIBITION sa pagpapakasal, sabay kabig na yung sa mga pari daw nila maraming dahilan kung bakit hindi pwede magpakasal, at syempre konektado ito sa "celibacy".
Sabi naman ni Mr. Arganiosa, hindi daw COMPULSORY at hindi daw SAPILATAN, pero KAILANGAN DAW kaya DAPAT MAMILI.
Ano ba talaga?
Bakit kailangan mamili kung hindi naman compulsory?
At meron bang Roman Catholic Priest (hindi converted from any other religion) na may asawa at ginagampanan pa rin ang pagiging pari niya?
SIYEMPRE WALA!
Kaya sablay na sablay sila sa paliwanag nila dahil nanloloko sila ng tao lalo na niloloko nila mga sarili nila.
Ayan maliwanag ang prohibition noon pang 4th century!
- Council of Elvira (c. 305)
- (Canon 33): It is decided that marriage be altogether prohibited to bishops, priests, and deacons, or to all clerics placed in the ministry, and that they keep away from their wives and not beget children; whoever does this, shall be deprived of the honor of the clerical office.

Sabi ko naman sa inyo mga sinungaling lang talaga ang mga taong nagsasabi na hindi daw ipinagbabawal sa kanila ang pag-aasawa. Kung hindi BAWAL dapat may nakikita na tayo ngayon na mga obispo, pari at mga madre na MAY ASAWA, wala ng exe-exemption pang nalalaman!
